Falafil Hut - Hoffman Estates

Updated: I’ll give the owner the benefit of the doubt regarding my husband accidentally ordering falafel wraps. However, the rest of my review still stands: Falafel Hut used to be a five-star restaurant, but over the past year, the quality and flavor have become unacceptable! Can you at least prepare the food like you used to? The spicy chicken shawarma wrap was not spicy at all—zero spice. I know the difference between regular and spicy; I even tasted my daughter’s wrap. All three wraps we ordered were just regular, leaving my husband and me disappointed. Not all of us live next door to return the unsatisfactory wrap for a replacement.

I was quite disappointed! They usually serve good food, but today’s experience was not up to par. I ordered the chicken Tawa rice, and the meat was undercooked. Some pieces of chicken were burnt to a crisp, making it impossible to eat even a single bite from the entire box. I could really taste the burnt flavor and even found tiny stones in the rice. The quality of the food has been inconsistent, especially with the chicken Tawa rice, as that’s the only dish I order each time I visit. In the end, I had to throw everything away.

The burgers are definitely worth it! I tried both the double cheeseburger and the Chipotle burger with spicy gyro. I highly recommend adding the spicy gyro to the Chipotle burger; it added a lot of flavor. The cheeseburger, while good, could have used a bit more seasoning. Both burgers tasted fresh, not frozen, and the buns were nice and crispy.

Edit 9/1/22: burgers are still halalified and retain their place as one the top halal burgers in Chicago (check out our youtube channel-Halal Digest-for details!
